Actually, you can log in as Administrator via Remote Desktop. Remote
Desktop is actually a single user Terminal Services environment and,
among other things, many visual effects are disabled to help reduce the
burden on the network. Overlays are probably one of those effects that
are disabled. Because Remote Desktop is a Terminal Services session,
there could be restrictions to modifying other user environments.
I don't see how TSVN wouldn't install if logged in as an Administrator
even via Remote Desktop. You can verify if TSVN is registered properly
by looking for the registry key:
HKCR\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\TortoiseSVN
Then verify that the associated COM object exists at:
HKCR\CLSID\{30351349-7B7D-4FCC-81B4-1E394CA267EB}
And then verify that the DLL referenced by InProcServer exists and that
the threading model is Apartment threaded.
Run RegMon during the installation under a Remote Desktop session to see
what happens. Filter out the two keys above.
